AMIBIOS8

Superior Reliability and Manageability

LEVERAGING OVER 25 YEARS OF AMIBIOS EXPERIENCE

Superior engineering has been the cornerstone of AMIBIOS since 1986.
AMIBIOS8 extends this experience into another generation of x86 platforms,
HIGHLIGHTS:
offering innovative solutions anchored on innovative development tools and A SINGLE CORE FOR ANY APPLICATION
widely recognized industry standards.
Platforms in all x86 markets
VISUAL eBIOS Desktop
AMIBIOS8 is built around Visual eBIOS (VeB), the innovative development
Mobile
environment designed specifically for BIOS porting. VeB was released with
the original AMIBIOS8 in 2001 and continues to simplify BIOS development Server
worldwide by removing barriers normally associated with BIOS development in Embedded
the command line environment:
Ultra Mobile PC (UMPC)
Project Wizards assist in project creation and porting, including graphical
IRQ routing Netbook, Nettop
Source control integration: Source Safe, PVCS, ClearCase, Dimensions and SUPPORTS MULTIPLE SILICON VENDORS
Subversion Broad CPU & Chipset support
AMI Remote Source Control (RSC): component updates on-demand 24/7/365
Intel, AMD, NVIDIA, SiS, VIA & more
Template-based porting model separates board-level changes from core
Available on Intel ECG & UMG reference

MODULAR CODE COMPONENTS
Intel vPro
AMIBIOS8 source is built using eModules modular code components that are
easily integrated into project source code. This flexibility allows developers to AMD Torrenza
readily customize a BIOS project using AMIBIOS8 components, or create custom Microsoft WHEA
reusable feature modules.
A COMPLETE SOLUTION
BIOS feature components and silicon support are distributed using the eModule
model, creating a scalable BIOS solution. eModules simplify porting to new An end-to-end BIOS solution
platforms, including BIOS maintenance and component upgrades. Modular code structure
Template-based porting
